Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with designing a new refrigeration system for a large warehouse. How would you incorporate economizers and flash chambers to optimize the system's efficiency? Discuss the design considerations you would need.
💡 Hint: Think about the overall system layout and energy needs.
Calculate how much energy savings could potentially be achieved by adding economizers to a refrigeration system with a base COP of 2.8, expecting it to rise to a COP of 3.5. If the input energy required is 10kW, what performance improvement would you estimate?
💡 Hint: Use the COP formula to see how the changes impact energy use.
